Well-known actress, artist, dancer, and television personality Paula Abdul issued an unexpectedly bold tweet this week following Japan’s victory over the United States in the World Cup. According to Abdul, a lot of rude comments were made regarding the Japanese players, prompting her to issue a strict warning to those providing the criticism. Many were surprised by Abdul’s harsh tone, given her sweet and nonconfrontational image as American Idol Judge. I guess we can credit Twitter for giving even the quiet ones a voice.
